Has metallic hydrogen been discovered?
The science behind chemistry’s latest controversy What is metallic hydrogen? Hydrogen exists in many forms and phases. But back in 1935, the solid-state physicists Eugene Wigner and Hillard Bell Huntington proposed perhaps its most exotic phase. The pair theorised that, under pressures of at least 25GPa (25 million times the standard pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere), a molecular hydrogen… → Read More
